"I'd first like to start off with thanking the whole upstairs organization, owner, the GM, the coaching staff, everybody for giving me this great opportunity, and I promise you, you won't regret it. I'm ready to work, though," Walker said.

He added that the last 24 hours were a little "nerve-wracking."

"These last 24 hours for me, I can't say – it's kind of been a little nerve-wracking just from all the media. I'm not big on media, and coming up on the draft of course there's going to be a lot of media," Walker said. "I'm a guy that was talked about a pretty good bit. But just these last 24 hours I've been taking it in, trying to spend my time with my family this whole time. I'm just enjoying this time and this moment with my family."

High expectations and the notion that every veteran in the league will be looking to put the No. 1 pick in his place will be one of the things Walker has to deal with in 2022. He was asked about the best advice he’s received about how he will be able to handle all of that.
